I am writing this from a motel in Maine called the Norseman. Architecturally undistinguished it may be, but you can’t beat it for location; right on the beach in Ogunquit; where I spent the evening watching the moon go up. The only downside is the “free” internet is only randomly available. You can lose a connection for no discernible reason. Even that has its bright side however, as I remain blissfully unaware of what’s happening in the wider world.
Herewith, a few pictures. There are some birds that frequent the beach that run back and forth ahead of the oncoming and receding waves. I tried taking videos, but they move way too fast to follow without excessive camera shake. I honestly can’t see how they can ingest enough calories to fuel their constant motion. If anyone knows what they are, let me know.
This one I can identify, as it is quite common near my own home, but I liked this closeup.
As I said, I spent the night watching the moon go up, taking pictures as it went, and as the night grew darker. This one isn’t bad, considering I had only my knee to act as a tripod.
Finally, a few pictures of the sky near sunset. The second one looks almost like an abstract painting.
Absolutely amazing how entertaining watching the sky can be.
